Seven short stories in this slim volume. The first two feature Sonia Carew,a young and beautiful Secret Service agent who solves her cases mainly by 'feminine intuition'. Light and frothy fun reads.The rest of the stories are all cases for the Slim Callaghan Detective Agency and are of a more serious nature. Murder and double-cross feature strongly in most of them,also a spot of blackmail raises its ugly head.Published in 1945,these have a nice feel of their age. Throughly enjoyable. ( )
